1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveObesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Whether within-day organization of concurrent training influences inflammatory adaptation remains unclear.

methodsSixty-four young adults with obesity were randomized to continuous training (CT; high-intensity functional training immediately followed by aerobic training) or separated training (ST; the same exercise volume divided into two sessions ~6 h apart). Both groups completed an 8-week intervention. Body composition and inflammatory markers were assessed before and after training using repeated-measures ANOVA.

resultsBoth groups showed significant reductions in body mass, BMI, body fat mass, and BF% over time (all p < 0.05). Significant time × group interactions were observed for body mass, BMI, and body fat mass, with the CT group showing greater reductions than the ST group. IL-6 was the only inflammatory marker showing a significant interaction effect (p < 0.001), decreasing in CT while remaining unchanged in ST. TNF-α decreased significantly over time in both groups, whereas IL-10 and IL-1β showed no significant interaction effects.

conclusionsWithin-day continuity of concurrent training reduced fat mass more than temporally separated training in young adults with obesity. An exploratory association with reduced IL-6 was observed but requires confirmation. Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR2500108145.
